Bodyguard Max Connery is used to being mistaken for
being younger than he is.

Being carded every time he buys a beer is usual. Even though he's just turned
twenty eight and has two tours in Afghanistan as a pilot under his belt.

When a threat is made on the life of a prince attending University in the UK,
Max is the perfect choice to blend in with students and to keep Prince Lucien
safe. Even if it means joining the swim team to be by his side.

But, when death visits the University, abruptly this job is a long way past
keeping the prince happy and safe. Instead Max has to keep Lucien alive.

Review

Lucien just wants to complete his education in
peace.No one at university knows he is
royalty and he would like to keep it that way.But someone is making threats.And the threats are serious enough to force his parents to provide
protection or make him return home.Lucien chooses protection but will he survive the choice?Max doesn’t really care to protect a spoiled
prince but his job doesn’t offer many choices.And then he meets the prince in question and must rearrange his thinking
180 degrees.

I enjoyed reading Max and the Prince by R. J. Scott.This was my first time reading this author and it will not be the
last.Ms. Scott gave
me a well written story.Luke has dealt
with pain and is trying to move past his grief in a way that is much more
mature than he has handled it in the past.But his past doesn’t seem to want to stay there.Max may appear more put together, but he also
has not faced his past.He lost the
career he loved and while he still gets to use the skills he learned while in
the military it isn’t quite the same.I
loved that Ms. Scott took these two men and
together they found something in each other.Both understood pain and while they handled it differently, they did
learn.Luke was more than the sum of his
title and with Max’s help he was able to let go and be sure that he would be
safe.And Max opened up and allowed
someone to empathize with his losses.I
enjoyed their journey toward a happily ever after and look forward to seeing
who else will have their happily ever after in this series.
